Next Chapter

October in Central and Southern Province is the harvest season, the tall corn leaves in the field have begun to turn yellow, and the huge ears of corn hang their heads on the straw that has lost its moisture, indicating that this year is a bumper harvest year.

In the farmland ten kilometers southeast of Yunfeng City, just after eight o'clock in the evening, the sky has already darkened, and the towering straws around are like an iron and copper wall in the dark, which not only blocks people's sight, but also blocks the wisps of cool autumn wind, and people are extremely stuffy in it.

"It's too expensive......... Cheaper ..............."

"Can't be cheap.......... just unearthed ........."

In a remote cornfield, there was a faint sound of conversation.

Xiao Yu stood next to Wei Jun and watched Wei Jun bargain with two mouse-like men, there was a snakeskin bag behind the two mouse-like men, Xiao Yu's eyes were staring at the snakeskin bag, and he tightened his hand holding the password box, this box was filled with 700,000 cash, usually Wei Jun came out with the guys in his store, but soon the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming, both guys were on vacation, and the seller of this batch of goods was urging him to hurry, Xiao Yu was pulled by Wei Jun.

As their bargain came to an end, Xiao Yu's young face showed a hint of relaxation, probably because tomorrow was the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiao Yu was a little homesick.

Xiao Yu is 25 years old this year, born in an ordinary single-parent family in a small county under the jurisdiction of Yanzhao City, North Central Province, with a height of 1.8 meters, slightly dark skin and a somewhat thin body, and when he laughs, he gives people a sense of honesty and harmlessness to humans and animals.

Xiao Yu in college can also be regarded as a man of the hour, but after leaving the school gate, he found a job, because he was too popular and was isolated by several colleagues, and was framed by his best colleague brother, he stole the underwear of his female colleague and secretly put it in Xiao Yu's closet, for which Xiao Yu not only lost his job, but also blew his girlfriend who had been friends for two months, and the unhappiness of everything made him have to reflect on himself, Xiao Yu talked less from then on, and Xiao Yu also brought a smile in front of people to give people a harmless smile when he smiled, Xiao Yu practiced for more than two months for this smile, and the muscles on his face stiffened.

Xiao Yu seems to have become mature and calm overnight, Xiao Yu, who turned out to be a night owl at night, now has more time to read some history books, the official history, wild history, and mythological history of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties are all Xiao Yu's favorite to read, and a set of Zhong Kui's biography that he bought a few days ago, Xiao Yu wants to read it without eating.

Xiao Yu, who graduated from a famous medical school in Shenhai City in 2010, is not too difficult to find a job in his hometown, but Xiao Yu has just been admitted to university when he likes to paint, and his grandfather is an old Chinese medicine doctor, and his grandfather has taught him medical skills since he was a child, but his hobby is not in this area, and because he is very filial and can't bear to see his grandfather disappointed, he memorized everything his grandfather taught him about Chinese medicine, and he memorized it, but because he didn't like it, he didn't have any medical practice. finally graduated from high school, Xiao Yu thought to himself that this time he could do what he wanted! However, his grandfather, who was nearly 100 years old when he was about to graduate, suddenly fell seriously ill, and he hoped that he would inherit his medical skills before he died.

When his grandfather explained Xiao Yu's medical skills, Xiao Yu found that his grandfather was also very proficient in first aid, which made him very curious about his grandfather's experience since he was a child, but every time he asked his grandfather, he said that he was an ordinary rural barefoot doctor.

The modern university of traditional Chinese medicine, in fact, has changed in essence, it is said to be a university of traditional Chinese medicine, but most of the courses are in Western medicine, Xiao Yu has been in contact with traditional Chinese medicine since he was a child, and he has no interest in traditional Chinese medicine, let alone the Western medicine of foreign devils, so Xiao Yu's grades in the school can be imagined, always in the top three, the bottom.

Although Xiao Yu's grades were not good in college, he played basketball very well and was the main controller of the school's basketball team, so he also made a few good friends, Wei Jun was one of them.

After Xiao Yu returned to his hometown after graduation, he worked as an intern doctor in a private hospital, and if you want to enter a national formal medical institution, Xiao Yu has an undergraduate, that is, a doctor, you have no relationship, you can't do it, you have worked in a private hospital for two months, don't say Xiao Yu doesn't like it, he just likes the salary of 1500 yuan per month, which also makes Xiao Yu see no hope, so Xiao Yu said goodbye to his mother, It's back to the deep sea.

After returning to Shenhai, Xiao Yu found a job in sales, talked about a girlfriend again, and everything was developing in a good direction, but because the limelight was too strong, he was framed by his colleagues, not only was his job gone, but his girlfriend was also blown, and then Xiao Yu did not find a new job for more than two months, and finally it was the help of Xiao Yu's college basketball team captain and good brother Wei Jun in Shenhai that he became a little doctor in the infirmary of Shenhai Antique City.

Xiao Yu's infirmary, said that the infirmary is actually a small can not be in a small small clinic, the infirmary is located in the most remote corner of the whole antique city, with a size of 10 square meters, in the deep sea antique city such an inch of land, is a remote place rent to start 10,000 yuan per month, this infirmary is still this summer when the antique city changed a new general manager, the new boss just took office to make an image project.

Wei Jun heard about it, thinking that Xiao Yu had not yet worked, so he recommended Xiao Yu to the new boss of the antique city, the boss was very happy to hear that Xiao Yu was a graduate of the Shenhai College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the boss of the antique city wanted Xiao Yu's identity as a graduate of the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and it was also regarded as the introduction of high-end talents, so it doesn't matter what your grades were when you went to school, and as long as the current college students have a graduation certificate and go out of school, who cares about your performance in school, even if you study poorly and give the teacher some gifts when you graduate, the teacher in the file will also give a qualification.

And this kind of infirmary will not see any serious illness, that is, occasionally there is a cold and fever here to get some medicine, and whoever is a little sick is here to see, they have already gone to the next hospital, because of this, Xiao Yu is very relaxed here, and even let Xiao Yu take on the job of a nurse.

Wei Jun has a medium-sized antique shop in the antique city, and often goes to the countryside of Central and Southern Provinces and Shaanxi Province to collect some old things, or collects some 'newly unearthed' things in the hands of the captain of the gold school.

Speaking of antiques, now the peaceful and prosperous times, the collection has also become a common thing to play, if it is said that the antique industry was nine false and one true, now due to the national collection fever, CCTV treasure chasing, and the broadcast of the door of the treasure in the south of the country, in the collection fever at the same time, the counterfeit counterfeiting industry has also changed the pattern of upgrading, resulting in the antique industry in the current hundred fake and one true are more than one.

This time, Wei Jun received a news that there were two gophers in Central South Province that had just unearthed goods to sell, but it was close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the guys in the store were on holiday, and Wei Jun had no other trustworthy people, because the seller was very anxious, and Wei Jun was afraid of missing it, so he pulled Xiao Yu to run with him.

Xiao Yu thought to himself, there is nothing to do here, and Wei Jun has helped him a lot, and now he has something to ask for his help, so Xiao Yu took a few days off and followed Wei Jun to Central South Province.

Xiao Yu and Wei Jun according to' Runway's guidance came to a cornfield on the outskirts of Yunfeng City, two mouse-like men, took out more than 10 items from the snakeskin bag and put them on the ground, Wei Jun took out a small strong flashlight, squatted there and looked up, following the afterglow of the flashlight, Xiao Yu also roughly saw the appearance of these more than ten items, of course, just to see clearly, Xiao Yu does not understand these things, Xiao Yu is not like Wei Jun who has followed his father to learn these things since he was a child, for antiques, Xiao Yu still knows what some things are called after working in the antique city, but to see the truth and falsehood, it is a blind man who lights the lamp ------ vain。

Wei Jun finished reading these more than ten items in turn, what bronze tripod is there! Bronze sword! Wait a minute. One of the wooden boxes attracted Xiao Yu's attention, Wei Jun opened the wooden box, and there was a thick brush, a book and a ruler-long wooden sword inside, Wei Jun glanced at it and closed the box, and in his heart he had already regarded these items as two gophers mixed in it to be fakes, thinking, "How can there be a brush, a book and a wooden sword that have been buried in the ground for hundreds of years are still as new, and the two turtles will not be fake." ”

Xiao Yu is different, although Xiao Yu does not understand antiques, but his grandfather has taught him to practice calligraphy since he was three years old, more than 20 years, Xiao Yu can distinguish the quality of the brush at a glance, the moment he saw this pen Xiao Yu deeply liked, this is definitely a superb wolf pen. Although Xiao Yu couldn't tell the other two things from the fake, he intuitively felt that the other two items were not simple.

After reading the things, Wei Jun began to bargain with two gophers.

As the bargaining came to an end, Xiao Yu became more and more vigilant, the moon that should be like a jade plate on August 14 was now like a shy little girl, quietly hiding in the clouds, looking at the impermeable corn stalks standing around, Xiao Yu always had an ominous premonition in his heart.

The two sides stopped talking, except for the crickets and the "whoosh" of the wind blowing the straw...... Outside the ......... sound, there was no other sound coming out, strange and silent, the straw standing in the ground in the dark night without seeing the five fingers, like a beast that chooses people and devours them, crawling there, waiting for food.

"Xiao Yu brought the box!" After the bargaining was over, Wei Jun said in a low voice to Xiao Yu, who was standing there.

Wei Jun took the lockbox handed over by Xiao Yu, opened the box, took out two bags of money from it and put them in his handbag, handed the rest to the two gophers and said, "I want the rest except for the things in the wooden box, a total of 500,000 yuan, you can order it." ”

Two gopher-like men, one of whom was about 1.60 meters tall, took the box handed over by Wei Jun, tore open the money that had been wrapped, and took out a few random pieces from it, and the other gopher at a high point took out a small money detector from his clothes and looked at it carefully, they would check a few pieces in each bag, and after the inspection, the two of them looked at each other and nodded. He took out the wooden box from the snakeskin bag behind him, and handed the rest to Wei Jun.

"How do you sell this wooden box?" The two gophers were packing up their things, and they all raised their heads to look at him when they heard Xiao Yu speak.

The two of them looked at each other, in fact, they were also suspicious of this thing, how could the brushes, books, and wooden swords that were hundreds of years old be so new, but they did bring this thing out of the ancient tomb. So they mixed this thing into the rest of the items, I didn't expect many people to look at it, and this time they wanted to try it, but who knew that others didn't want this thing after just looking at it. The two of them were disappointed and suddenly heard Xiao Yu's question, and thought that selling a little is a little bit! It's better to have someone want it than to smash it in your own hands. The short gopher glanced at the tall gopher, gritted his teeth and said, "Ten thousand yuan....if you want ten thousand yuan to take it!" ”

"Okay, I want it," Xiao Yu said after thinking for a while. After speaking, he said to Wei Jun: "Brother Jun, lend me 10,000 yuan and pay you back when I go back." ”

"Xiao Yu is this thing....................." Wei Jun was just about to tell Xiao Yu that this thing was not real, but Xiao Yu waved his hand and interrupted and said: "I know, I just like which pen very much!" ”

Wei Jun looked at Xiao Yu with a firm face, knowing that persuasion was useless, after more than two years of getting along, Wei Jun knew his brother very well. Once my brother decides on something, he will never compromise and change it easily. Sighing helplessly, he took out a stack of money and handed it to Xiao Yu and said, "You think about it yourself!" ”

"Hmm"

Xiao Yu took the money and handed it to the little gopher, and then took the wooden box from the gopher.

The two gopher-like men took the money handed over by Xiao Yu and put it into their box containing the money, the two glanced at each other, and quickly disappeared into the cornfield where they couldn't see their fingers.

"Goo-goo......... Coo-goo.......... goo-goo............."

In the direction where the two disappeared, there were suddenly several cuckoo calls, and the sound of objects crossing the corn stalks suddenly came from the cornfields around Xiao Yu and Wei Jun.

"Oops, is there an ambush?"

Xiao Yu and Wei Jun were shocked, and a bad premonition came to their hearts, and the two looked at each other and saw anxious expressions on each other's faces. The two of them each picked up something on the ground and fled into the dark cornfield.
